Exercise & Activity

While exercise isn’t always the easiest thing for senior citizens to do, keeping an active lifestyle is probably the most important factor for maintaining their health. Physical attributes such as strength, balance and flexibility all hinge on the amount of daily activity they receive. Other worthy considerations that exercise improves include blood circulation and digestive function.

Personal Exercise Programs

Our professional caregivers encourage seniors to keep a daily routine that includes some form of exercise. They also seek opportunities for them to participate in group activities or programs to increase their social interaction and mental stimulation.

Physical Activity Options can Include:

Daily walks

Yoga

Senior aerobics classes

Swimming laps

Line dancing classes

Aqua aerobics

Games or leagues

Daily Walks

Daily walks are great exercise and can help get your family member out of their house or room for a change in scenery. Daily walks help to create consistency, improve strength and balance, as well as other health benefits.
